Gunstorm II News

A major SFXEngine update is live today. SFXEngine v2.00 has a bunch of new features for new sound creation and batch audio processing. There's a new look, and about 25% of the core code has been rewritten. New features include:

-New sample structure with double pointers, permitting samples beyond 90 seconds and up to several hours (as memory permits).
-New double modulator pointers for increased accuracy.
-New global sample rate option to change the core program frequency. Projects and sounds remain compatible between sample rates and will automatically resample and remap, but all filters will need manual adjustment if resampling.
-New V01 file format for projects and programs. V00 format files will import seamlessly.
-New dynamically allocated floatutility and longutility variables for engines.
-New global transpose and tuning.
-New Revision number per project, incremented upon each save.
-Improved batch csv export to prevent infinite loops, and report if no files are found.
-Improved main wav loader to skip cue chunks.
-New Locate Usage option for samples and modulators will count all uses, and locate the next use, of the current sample or modulator.
-Lots of little bug fixes and improvements.

And more! The complete Bolt-On Bundle is live today too, with a 50% discount when purchasing all Bolt-On DLC. This will prepare the way for new preset/resource packs in 2025.

-Sequencer title bar now shows number of tracks in selection, if this is greater than 1.
-Windows will reset to default positions if the desktop resolution changes between sessions.
-Starting Argus with a film file (.agf) argument will now load the film, permitting a Window double-click of a film.
-And many more...

Hello All,

A little update to our animation software Argus today. Three little changes:

-A new light on Event List next to track name indicates custom name status. If lit, the track has a custom (manually entered) name and will not be auto-renamed. Can be clicked to re-enable auto-rename (or enter a blank name as before).
-A few new key alternatives for the Windows editor added: Keypad Enter for Kill event, Keypad Divide for Set Modulator, Keypad Multiply for Move with current parameters.
-A warning is now shown if trying to start 3D mode when no camera is active.
-Starting Argus with a film file (.agf) argument will now load the film, permitting a Window double-click of a film.

Argus is free to use in it's basic version, limited to 450 frames and 8 tracks. DLC can be purchased to expand frames and tracks to maximum. Find Argus here:
